ISLINGTON AND SHOREDITCH HOUSING ASSOCIATION LTD 102 BLACKSTOCK ROAD, LONDON N4 2DR ACCESS TO OUR OFFICE We hope that this information sheet will make access to our office easier, whether or not you have a disability. TRANSPORT Parking There is very limited parking in the Finsbury Park area. ISHA is only able to provide a parking permit to staff with a disability or those for whom transport is essential for their work. Bicycle racks are available in front of the office. Tubes The nearest tube station is Finsbury Park (Victoria and Piccadilly lines) – about 10 minutes’ walk from the office. Trains The nearest train station is also Finsbury Park with trains from Moorgate and Kings Cross. Buses Many buses run between the Finsbury Park station and the office: 4, 19, 106, 236. Other buses stop on Seven Sisters Road at about 7 minutes’ walk from the office: 29, 253, 259, 279. THE OFFICE Physical Layout Reception and the Development department are located on the ground floor. All the other departments are on the first floor. A lift can be used to gain access to the first floor. The whole office is wheelchair accessible. A disabled loo is available on each floor including one at Reception. Physical Features There are soft strip lights throughout with good natural light. The managers’ offices are further away from windows and rely more on artificial lighting, however, those offices have an air cooling system to facilitate temperature control. As the office is mainly open plan, noise level varies and can be high at times. There are audio loop systems in the main meeting room, the tenant interview rooms and at Reception. (For Applicants) Except for senior staff, most employees sit in an open area with a few other staff, with computers and printers operating intermittently during the day. The height of some desks can be varied and would be suitable for wheelchair users or very tall people. We hope that we have provided you with enough information on access but if you need more please contact the person you are meeting or their secretary (if applicable). If you have any comments on these access details, we would find the feedback very useful.
